Appendix 1: Glossary of terms and measures Except where noted, common terms and measures used in this document are based upon the following definitions: Actual rates Brambles Value Added (BVA) Capital expenditure (capex) Cash flow from operations Constant currency Earnings per share (EPS) In the statutory financial statements, Brambles translates foreign currency results into US dollars at the applicable actual monthly exchange rates ruling in each period. Brambles Value Added (BVA) represents the value generated over and above the cost of the capital used to generate that value. It is calculated using fixed June 2011 exchange rates as: Underlying profit; plus Significant items that are part of the ordinary activities of the business; less Average capital invested, adjusted for accumulated pre-tax Significant items that are part of the ordinary activities of the business, multiplied by 12%. Unless otherwise stated, capital expenditure is presented on an accruals basis and excludes intangible assets, investments in associates and equity acquisitions. It is shown gross of any fixed asset disposals proceeds. Cash flow generated after net capital expenditure but excluding Significant items that are outside the ordinary course of business. Constant currency results are presented by translating both current and comparable period foreign currency results into US dollars at the actual monthly exchange rates applicable in the comparable period, so as to show relative performance between the two periods before the translation impact of currency fluctuations. Profit after tax, minority interests and Significant items, divided by shares in issue. 41 Appendix 1: Glossary of terms and measures (continued) Except where noted, common terms and measures used in this document are based upon the following definitions: Free cash flow New business wins Operating profit PMS RPC Sales revenue Shares on issue Significant items Underlying profit 42 Cash flow generated after net capital expenditure, finance costs and tax, but excluding the net cost of acquisitions and proceeds from business disposals.

Net new business wins are based on pro forma figures, which assume Brambles had owned businesses acquired since 1 July 2010 for all of this period and the prior corresponding period. Brambles defines net annualised new business as the implied sales revenue in 12 months from net new business won during the reporting period.
